The Philadelphia area is one of the great golf regions in the world. More on that later. This week, Tiger Woods and many other great PGA players will be in town for the AT+T National, to be held at Aronimink Golf Club. This is a great opportunity, since the tour does not have a regular stop in the area.
I would love for this event to be well attended, because it would help the region's case for a regular spot. The tournament is here this year and next because its home course near DC is undergoing renovations.
Tournament play starts Thursday, but practice rounds begin today. There are advantages to both. For practice rounds, spectators can interact with the players, who are usually in a more casual mood. Usually, cameras are permitted for practice rounds. However, Mr. Woods himself usually plays his practice rounds very early in the morning, so you probably won't get to see him.
Tournament rounds are carefully scheduled, so you know exactly when your favorite player is teeing off, and can anticipate his appearance at a given hole.
I'll be reporting as the week progresses, but start making your plans.
